Thank you all for wonderful thoughts and prayers. Today the tote both went to my friends husband, (it is wrapped with a special letter inside) we sat there and told each other no tears... he just held the wrapped gift, and told me with tears... that he feels the love.
He said he would give it to Rebecca privately, as she will need a few moments to herself.
I can't express with words, the hugs, the thoughts and the wonderment of this board. Thank you again to all of you!~ yes indeed quilters are special
